Ethical Principles in the Use of Natural Resources

In this project, you will explore how to protect the environment for our well-being and the well-being of future generations. You will learn different ways to take care of nature, especially water. Finally, you will organize a riverbed cleaning campaign, which will also help raise awareness about the importance of preventing water pollution.

Problem

As a community, read together:

Identifying the Problem

1. Individually, considering what you read in community, think of practices you've seen at school or in your community which are not good for keeping water clean. Write them in your notebook.

2. As a community, form a circle and take turns describing the practices you wrote in your notebook.

3.On the whiteboard or on a flip chart, write the practices described and talk about how you can help avoid these practices altogether.

Is it okay to use a lot of resources, even if it hurts the Earth?Long ago, people thought the Earth had endless resources for us to use. Now, we know that is not true. For example:If we use too much water, we can run out. We cannot just use everything however we want, because it is important to keep everything in balance. However, some people want to continuously buy non-basic consumer goods, while others keep producing them to grow their wealth, and this makes it harder for the Earth to regenerate its resources at a sustainable pace to avoid depletion. Therefore, they are overexploited to respond to the products demand, which in turn hurts the whole planet and is called ecocide. We need to be careful about how much we use and take care of the Earth.We need to make sure we're not acting in ways that could end up destroying it.
